| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the history tricks, where any resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely coincidental. |
| 0:07.6 | Sometimes, sometimes we give you a little peek behind the curtain. We knew we wanted to revisit one of our former subjects. And it is that time of year where the weather is turning crispy and our thoughts turn to Octoberfest. And |
